The desert always cooled faster than Lena expected.

By sunset, the sharp Tucson heat had faded into a dry breeze that carried the scent of dust and creosote through the city. From the terrace of her penthouse, the mountains in the distance looked bruised purple beneath the fading sky.

She stood there longer than she intended, her hands wrapped around a mug of untouched tea.

She had come outside for quiet.

Instead, she found herself replaying a conversation she should have been done with hours a

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 62: The Man Everyone Buried

    Sebastian stared at the dark phone screen.The call had lasted less than a minute.Yet it changed everything.Again.Nathaniel Hart.For weeks, his name had hovered around the edges of every discovery.Sometimes as a suspect.Sometimes as a protector.Sometimes as a victim of circumstances.Now Monica was suggesting something far worse.That Nathaniel hadn't merely participated.That he had orchestrated it all.Sebastian sat on the edge of the bed.Unable to move.Unable to think clearly.Outside his window, Tucson slept peacefully.Inside, his entire understanding of the past continued to collapse.At six in the morning, nobody needed an alarm.The group gathered in a private conference room near the hotel lobby.Coffee sat untouched.The atmosphere was too tense for anyone to care about caffeine.Morales was the first to speak."The break-in happened at approximately 1:15 a.m."Sarah immediately looked up."The bank?"He nodded."Security alarms were triggered.""Was anything taken?

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 61: Before Morning

    The words followed them all the way back to the hotel.Assuming we survive the night.Nobody laughed.Nobody dismissed the remark as paranoia.Not after everything that had happened.Not after the shootings.Not after Claire Bennett's murder.Not after discovering that powerful people had spent nearly three decades burying the truth.If anything, Elias sounded realistic.That frightened everyone more than they cared to admit.The hotel occupied the upper floors of a modern building in downtown Tucson.Detective Morales had arranged additional security.Two officers guarded the lobby.More occupied the parking garage.Another team monitored the elevators.It seemed excessive.Until Lena remembered that someone had fired into Rebecca's home less than twelve hours earlier.Then it seemed barely adequate.Sarah, Harrison, and Rebecca occupied rooms on the same floor.Morales insisted on it.No one argued.Around midnight, most of them attempted sleep.Attempted.Nobody actually succeeded.

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 60: Monica's Confession

    The warehouse fell into complete silence.No one moved.No one spoke.The name seemed to echo through the building.Victor Sketer.Rebecca stared at Elias.Sebastian stared at Monica.And Monica stared at the floor.For the first time since they had met her, she looked vulnerable.Not cunning.Not confident.Not dangerous.Just tired.Very tired.As though she had spent years carrying a burden she no longer had the strength to hold.Elias sat heavily in his chair.The revelation had drained him.Detective Morales broke the silence."You're saying Victor Sketer ordered Claire Bennett's murder?"Elias nodded slowly."Yes."The detective exchanged a look with the officers nearby.It was an extraordinary accusation.One that would require evidence.One that could rewrite decades of history.Monica finally spoke.Her voice sounded strangely calm."He did."Every head turned toward her.Sarah blinked."What?"Monica looked up.Tears glistened in her eyes."My father ordered it."The room fr

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 59: Father and Children

    Nobody spoke for several seconds.The words seemed impossible to process.He's asking to see both of his children.Rebecca sat frozen.Sebastian couldn't move.The letter still rested on the table between them.The proof.The confession.The truth.For twenty-nine years, they had lived separate lives.Now, in a single evening, they had discovered they shared the same father.And that father was alive.Waiting.Asking for them.Rebecca slowly shook her head."No."Her voice broke."No, no, no..."Tears streamed down her face.Years of unanswered questions were colliding at once.Who she was.Why she'd been hidden.Why she'd spent decades feeling as though part of her life never quite fit.Sebastian understood exactly how she felt.Because he felt it too.Morales glanced at his watch."We need to move."The reminder snapped everyone back to reality.Elias was alive.For now.And Monica was with him.For now.Neither condition felt guaranteed to last.The drive to the warehouse felt endl

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 58: The Name in the Letter

    Nobody spoke.The grandfather clock on Rebecca's mantel ticked softly in the silence.Tick.Tick.Tick.Each second seemed louder than the last.Sebastian stared at the letter.His hands had become strangely cold.Across from him, Lena watched carefully.She had seen him handle boardroom crises worth millions.She had watched him navigate lawsuits, hostile takeovers, and public scandals.She had never seen him look like this.Like a man standing on the edge of a cliff.Afraid to look down.Rebecca slowly sat beside the fireplace.Her face looked pale.As though she already knew what came next.Perhaps she did.The letter had been in her possession for years.Maybe decades.And yet she'd never opened it.The envelope had been addressed to Sebastian.Only Sebastian.Morales finally broke the silence."Finish reading it."Sebastian nodded.Slowly.Then lowered his eyes back to the page.The handwriting belonged unmistakably to Elias Mercer.Firm.Precise.Confident.The handwriting of a

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 57: The Attack

    The first gunshot shattered more than the window.It shattered the illusion that they still had time.Glass exploded across the living room.Rebecca dropped to the floor instinctively.Lena followed a split second later.Sarah screamed.Harrison pulled her down behind the dining table.Detective Morales drew his weapon and moved toward the wall beside the broken window."Everybody stay down!"Another shot blasted through the house.The bullet buried itself in a bookshelf.Books tumbled to the floor.Wood splintered.Rebecca's face had gone pale."How did they find us?"Nobody answered.Because nobody knew.And at that moment, it didn't matter.The only thing that mattered was surviving.Sebastian crawled toward Rebecca."Are you hurt?"She shook her head."No."A third shot struck the front door.Then silence.An eerie, terrifying silence.Morales carefully peered through the shattered window.His expression hardened."Vehicle.""What vehicle?" Lena asked."Black SUV."Rebecca closed

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 39: Echoes of the Past

    The storm lingered over Tucson long after midnight.Wind rattled against the tall windows of the Crouch estate while shadows danced across the walls of the sitting room.Nobody seemed eager to sleep.Too much had happened.Too many foundations had cracked.Lena stood near the fireplace, staring int

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 37: The Safe That Should’ve Been Empty

    The drive to the Crouch estate passed in near silence.Rain blurred against the windows in restless streaks while Tucson’s lights stretched and bent across the wet roads. Lena sat beside Sebastian in the back of the car, watching him carefully without making it obvious.He hadn’t spoken in almost t

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 36: The Call No One Expected

    The room stopped breathing.Sebastian stood frozen with the phone pressed against his ear, every trace of color draining slowly from his face.Lena watched his expression change in stages.Shock.Disbelief.Then something colder.Something hollow.“What do you mean, dead?” he asked quietly.His mot

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 35: The Name on the Certificate

    Nobody moved.Harrison still held the document in both hands, but the tension in the room had already shifted toward Sebastian.Because they all knew.Even before the paper reached the table.Sebastian’s expression became frighteningly still.“What birth certificate?” he asked quietly.Harrison hes
